If you are using the smbldap tools, set the sid in the smbldap config
file to your old sid, and use your old domain name. That should do the
trick.
Instead of running the pearl scripts to create your ldap, you might want
to use your old ldap database and just take out the stuff you don't want.

You also need to copy the local samba databases - a lot of stuff isn't
stored in LDAP, like printer driver settings. Everything
from /var/lib/samba/ would be good, as well as all your share directories
of course.

I actually am not planning on copying any of my LDAP database. My plans
were to setup a totally new server, move the home directories over and add
my users through my batch perl script.
I want to start everything out fresh. The students don't keep files over
from year to year and there are only about 70-100 teachers so re-adding
the users will not be that big of a deal. I just export the students out
of our student records program and then into my batch perl script to have
them created. I am actually going to be using a different naming routine
for users so the old ldap db would not be what I wanted anyways.
Thanks.
